In the last couple of weeks, Meta has banned or suspended a significant number of sex-positive and kink accounts on Instagram, including the likes of Slut Social and even the Sex Workers Union account. This has prompted the ‘Stop Deleting Us’ campaign, set up by creators to protest against the measures.
Here’s all you need to know about what’s been happening, and Lovehoney’s response.
You might think that the menopause means the end of a stellar sex life, or maybe it’s the opposite – and you believe that when your menstrual cycle stops, your libido will rocket, opening the door for more frequent and spontaneous intimacy. For many, the reality settles some place between the two, but what exactly is the menopause, and how does this transition affect us and our sex lives?
When we launched our Year of Orgasms subscription last year, it sold out in less than 24 hours. "Wowsers!" we thought. "Looks like a lot of people want a sex toy subscription..."
After speaking to thousands of Love Honey customers about what they wanted from a sexy subscription, we are pleased to introduce you to Play Box, a quarterly subscription for couples.
Subscribe to Play Box and every 3 months you'll receive 5 top-quality toys and sexy treats for both of you to enjoy.
The value of the products in each box is over £100, but will cost you just £50. Bargain!
We've designed Play Box with only one thing in mind: your ultimate sexual happiness.
When you think of Good Housekeeping magazine, you're probably met with images of recipe ideas, vacuum cleaner product reviews and articles about how to get your soufflé to rise just right.
What you might not associate with this straight-laced publication is their totally-filthy, annual Tried and Tested survey to find the best sex toys on the market.
Well now you know, and guess what? We came out on top (this is our favourite position FYI).
The Lovehoney Desire Clitoral Vibrator was voted numero uno out of 25 vibes put to the test by a panel of 270 women. It got an overall score of 74/100 and hit the spot with nine out of 10 women.
In fact, Lovehoney vibes accounted for seven out of the 25 carefully-selected toys. Check out which ones made the cut and what the experts at Good Housekeeping had to say about them.
BONUS! Buy one of these vibrators from Lovehoney today and enjoy a free lube (click the graphic below for more).
Lovehoney Community member Shadow Collector is one very lucky lady. Not only did she receive a Secret Wishlist Present from an anonymous forum friend, but we've also chosen the review she wrote of it as our Review of the Month. The prize? £100 to spend at Lovehoney!
We loved her in-depth review of the Icicles No 24 Tentacle Glass Dildo. She even pointed out features we hadn't noticed, like the perineum stimulation offered by the textured nubs:
"The raised glass nodules provide the kind of feelings that, previous to this toy, I only have imagined existed. There is nothing that can compare to the cool, firm feel of glass. Furthermore, the handle’s shaped so that with every thrust it’ll also tickle the anus."
"To the amazing person who blessed me with the Icicles No. 24, thank you. You've changed my outlook on sex toys for the better, and it was already pretty darn positive. I love this piece and any texture aficionados will love it as well."

We're absolutely thrilled to announce that Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Goodman will be the new face of Lovehoney lingerie.
The 21-year-old reality TV beauty rose to fame in 2014 when she appeared on MTV's Ex On The Beach. Since the show she has modelled for numerous tabloids and fashion magazines thanks to her versatile look and killer curves. She has even been Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's body double in the L'Oreal adverts!
Early in 2015, Chloe went into the Celebrity Big Brother house with the likes of Katie Hopkins, Perez Hilton and Katie Price. Despite being knocked out early on in the show, Chloe made a big impact and has been featured on ITV's This Morning and Channel 4 News in the weeks that followed.
Before she went into the house, Lovehoney met with Chloe for a top secret lingerie photo shoot. During the shoot we made an exclusive behind-the-scenes video and had a chat with the reality TV Star about what she loves most about our exciting new lingerie range.
What a month for user-uploaded reviews! With lots of fun new products appearing in October, and a great back catalogue of customer favourites being reviewed, it was tricky to pick just one winner of our Review of the Month competition.
In the end, we chose Cornish89's sincere review of the brand new Sqweel Go USB Rechargeable Oral Sex Simulator ([[productprice:productid=27037]]) as winner, and we're delighted to award her £100 to spend at Lovehoney.
We loved her change from sceptic to full-blown convert:
"I applied lube to myself and started off on the slowest speed which was a nice warm up. I then sped it up, I was surprised to feel close to orgasm on the second setting and pretty shocked to have an orgasm when I put it on the fastest speed! The Sqweel Go has definitely been added to my very short list of items that I can use solo and know I'll achieve orgasm!"

But first for inspiration, authors are frequently asked what inspires their characters. Beth Kery explains that she had several sources of inspiration for the main characters in "Because You Are Mine".
Ian Noble
"I often write sexy alpha males, but Ian was a bit of a departure for me. That’s not to say that as a high-powered business entrepreneur and sexual dominant that Ian isn’t the epitome of an alpha hero. Is he ever!"
Francesca Arno
"It’s often the young and innocent who see most truly, and that’s certainly the case with Francesca. I wanted Francesca to be strong and talented despite her naiveté—an unpolished jewel that Ian immediately recognises as being priceless."
